There's an article up at Comic Book Resources about the surprising discoveries made by a comic book retailer about which trade paperbacks sell in his store.
It does explain a lot about why, when I recently was able to go to a couple of comic stores while on vacation, I couldn't really find any trades I wanted in a store. (Actually, I guess it's really the sheer number of trades that exist now that explains that. But it kind of goes together.) Which is why I bought toys instead :). Apparently if I want a specific title, I'm going to have the best luck going with an online comic bookseller. If I had a local store I could order through them. I don't. If I'm at a comic store, I'm there while on vacation--if it's not actually in the store at that moment it doesn't do me a bit of good. Then again, as a once-a-year-or-less customer I'm guessing my business isn't what they're thinking about in their long-range planning.
Anyway, it strikes me that the possible move to trades just isn't going to be a good thing for most comic shops, is it?
